Compliance with instructions planted in pasted text (Anthropic)

Only in system cards

Coding agents receive user prompts with pasted text that hides an attacker's instruction. Score is the rate of acting on the planted instruction.

In-house Anthropic evaluation with simulated tool calls. Some variants hide the instruction in invisible Unicode characters.

Claude Opus 5.5 leads with 7.40%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

Labs report it only in system cards

We read the headline results of 522 launch posts from 52 labs, and none of them list this benchmark. Some system cards do, below.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
